Divock Origi has declared he has no intentions of leaving Liverpool, even if it costs him a place at the European Championship with Belgium.
According to Het Laatste Nieuws (relayed via @AnfieldEdition), the striker is not prepared to embark upon a new challenge away from the Merseyside outfit. Origi has admitted he is quite happy to be viewed as a ‘super-sub’, despite receiving limited action on the pitch.

Although he is not Liverpool’s first choice striker, the Belgian has contributed to some memorable moments for the club. The Reds arguably would not have lifted their sixth European Cup last year without Origi. The 25-year-old scored a brace against Barcelona in the semi-final to help overturn a 3-0 deficit and his goal at the death in the final sealed Liverpool’s Champions League glory.
However, since earning his cult hero status last season, he has struggled to make much of an impact this time round. Origi has made 25 Premier League appearances this term and has found the back of the net just three times (via Transfermarkt).

It seems a lot of Liverpool supporters aren’t a fan of his attitude towards not being in competition with Roberto Firmino. One fan has slammed him for having an ‘absolutely shocking mentality’ whilst another thinks it’s ‘time to go’ based off his unproductive season.

Lads needs to be moved on, has gone backwards this season and will continue to stagnate with little game time, be best for both parties now if he is sold

In other words, loves that he is not the first choice and happy to take the nice wages

Needs to start putting the work in then. At this rate Sturridge would have been better getting a new deal.

Get him out thanks for the corner taken quickly but its time to go

What a awful mindset that is for a player in his mid 20s.
